Vasulka Chamber at the National Gallery of Iceland
In 2014 Vasulka Chamber was opened at the National Gallery of Iceland, celebrating the 130 anniversary of the museum. It was founded by Steina and Woody Vasulka with museum director, Dr. Halldór Björn Runólfsson and Kristín Scheving. The minister of Culture of Iceland opened the Chamber and the Vasulkas donated majority of their archive to the Chamber.
